Just to clarify it a bit further.  BBS stands for Bulletin Board
System, which was usually  accessed via a modem directly, and
not through the Internet.  However, Internet links to many
larger BBS systems were installed by many BBS operators toward
the end of their reign as the primary link between computer
users.  Nearly all BBS systems provided free access to a text
(or ASCII) based system and laid the philosophical groundwork
for what later became the multimedia based World Wide Web.
